Vinnie leads off this episode talking about his epic day off. Later, Vinnie sets the record straight about his Oprah appearance. He agreed to participate in the “Where are they now” piece if they allowed him to mention this podcast and his book. Apparently, there was some sort of oversight, and all mention of the book and show ended up cut. I hope you’re sitting down…Vinnie gets quite angry over the whole deal. He calls out the usual suspects when it comes to ratings grabs, like Octomom and Dennis Rodman. Vinnie then mentions his involvement with The Tom Chenault Show. Later, they get Sinastr on the phone for a chat. Like Vinnie, Sinastr is also from Louisiana. Turns out, Sinastr saw himself in an unflattering light in a sex tape, and decided to make a change with his health. Weighing in at 270 pounds, he dropped all the way to 200. “You know how hard it is to lose one pound in southern Louisiana?” Vinnie asks. Why did Sinastr trust Vinnie? He didn’t have anything to sell.

well let me just say, that I just watched the "where are they now" episode… the 80's version of you…. eh, not my cup of tea, but hearing you speak about who you are today and your triumph over cancer and just your general energy came across very powerfully. I googled you because I wanted to know more about you and that's how I got here… and I'm intrigued to get plugged into your podcast, twitter and other outlets (possibly read your book – although I haven't read an entire book in some time – adult ADD, I think!) anyway, wanted to let you know that your presence is powerful and although the plugs for your book and podcast didn't make it onto the show, you definitely stand out and I'm sure I'm not the only person who wants to know more about you. PS – congrats on finding your match. I found mine WAY later the norm too :-)…. only reason I wrote anything is because it looks like you were displeased to have the mentions left out – I just want you to know, that won't keep people from seeking you out… and you're easy to find. Good day to you!~.

Teresa, What a great letter to wake up to…Thank you! I was more upset, because Anna had gone out of her way to do hair and make up and allowed her studio to be filmed. You are correct, people will still find us. Thank you for the kind words!

I have to add a comment because my profile image so closely echoes Teresa's heart image. Vinnie, you have many silent listeners who are finding you through unmapped channels. I've listened to the entire bank of podcasts and have been not only enlightened but mightily entertained. You and Anna are fun and funny.
